Terrible airport. There is only one line for all transfers and they are too slow and strict. We already are checked at customs when we check in, yet they check everything again. They also try to inquire about things in your bag, but don't speak English or have any translators or even a piece of paper like other airports where they can point at pictures of banned objects and ask if you have them. Even though the line was so long, one guy looked at my tooth paste and mulled it over for so long... then another lady asked me about something in my bag I guess in Mandarin.. it certainly wasn't comprehensible English... I had no idea what she was saying but she just kept repeating herself over and over again.. I just kept telling her I didn't understand her because I don't speak Mandarin but I didn't have anything contraband in my bag as far as I could tell but she kept asking me the same thing over and over again... she pulled everything out of my bad while doing so and put it in so many different trays... then went back to the x-ray machine, checked my ticket, repeated the same word to me some more... this took like half an hour. I was so hungry and thirsty since they take away your water again too. Then finally she was like "ok, this is all fine." (yeah, I know, I kept telling you that!) and I had to repack everything. I think it is fine to expect everyone to speak Mandarin if they are actually entering the country (not realistic, but understandable), but this is just transfers, so that's a ridiculous thing to expect, and this whole thing could have been avoided and the process sped up if their transfers security spoke some second languages or if they at least had visual aids for communicating! So many people missed their flights because of this behavior!
